University Student on Path to Success with Events Firm
Monday, March 08, 2010
Peter Marezana has set up Excelsior Events and has already secured a number of lucrative contracts.
The 21-year-old business management and accountancy student made an application to the SPEED (Student Placements for Entrepreneurs in Education) programme, which helps students to start their own business, and secured more than £4,000.
“I decided to set up my own business after undertaking an internship with a blue chip stock broker firm in London,” he said. “While there I organised a seminar for the firm in Worcester, which generated around £500,000 worth of business. I thought to myself that this is something I could do, and get paid for.”
Peter, who comes from Hertfordshire, set about establishing Excelsior Events, which has now been trading for two months.
“I can organise events for private individuals, such as weddings, or corporate events like awards ceremonies or even Christmas parties,” he said.
“I have very good links with a number of local firms and source all of my business from the Worcester area, such as caterers, printers etc.”
